Instructions
In a large bowl combine all of the sauce ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. (Don't be alarmed at the bold flavor, it won't taste as strong once it's combined with the chicken)
Heat the sauce on medium and let it barely simmer for about 5-10 minutes (optional)
Mix sauce into shredded chicken a little at a time until your desired consistency is reached (I never use all the sauce since I just like my chicken to be lightly coated.
Top the prepared potato buns with the BBQ chicken and then top with cole slaw (optional but recommended)
Serve hot.

Notes
To really speed the process, you can use a rotisserie chicken. I brushed my bone-in chicken with a little olive oil and then sprinkle with a mixture of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then I roasted them on 425 F. for about 35-45 minutes.
